How A & R Terminal Railroad Reduced Tax Bill By 75.00%
A&R’s bulk distribution site in Will County was one of Fulcrum’s earliest designation projects. Nearly two decades ago, we helped convert the facility into a Class III railroad—unlocking the full range of tax benefits that status provides.
While the client later chose to manage filings internally, the designation remained in place. The result: hundreds of thousands in tax savings, and a lasting model for future projects across the region.
